Hydraulics / Swash Plates

hydraulic motors and pumps
The Challenge
• Improve wear resistance under extreme working conditions (over 400 Bar pressure)
• Maintain smooth, very flat surface during production process
• Superfinishing expensive because of the large size of the plate
Solutions
FriCSo’s polymer lapping adds an oil-retaining organic nano-layer, hardens the metal surface, and produces an extremely flat, smooth superfinished surface. FriCSo polymer lapping is performed in-line on the current through-feed superfinishing machines. No capital expense and no change in production throughput are required.
Results
• Flatness maintained during production
• 30% reduction in cost of superfinishing
